On Valentine’s Day, the live-action Sonic The Hedgehog film will finally be released to the public, and fans of the iconic video game character are curious to check it out. As expected, this movie will have a stellar score thanks to Junkie XL. For the official soundtrack, rappers Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child were asked to record an original tune. The end result is “Speed Me Up,” which was released on Thursday.

The music video for the tune is filled with Sonic nostalgia. The rappers find themselves in the original Sonic the Hedgehog game with footage of the movie placed in. You can check out the visual below. The song is available to purchase and stream here.

In the film, Sonic (Ben Schwartz) must team with Green Hills sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden ) to defeat Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). The movie was originally slated to be released on November 8, but negative trailer reactions from fans forced the studio to rework Sonic’s design. Tickets for Sonic the Hedgehog can be purchased here.
